Post Transplant Monitoring

Be part of the revolution in non-invasive post-transplant monitoring with Immucor's cutting-edge gene expression assay. Utilize this advanced technology to detect and exclude subclinical or clinical rejection scenarios.

The kSORT® Assay by Immucor

kSORT(KIDNEY SOLID ORGAN RESPONSE TEST}

Renal Allograft Surveillance

kSORT is a non-invasive gene expression assay that enables enhanced post-transplant surveillance and monitors immune quiescence for transplant patients.

kSORT holds the promise of transforming post-transplant care for kidney recipients. By accurately diagnosing acute cellular rejection and effectively guiding treatment using simple blood samples, it has the potential to revolutionize the field.

Fewer Costly Procedures

Less invasive methods are likely to reduce costs

Avoid Procedure Related Risks

Procedure-related adverse events including graft bleeding (up to 6% across indications) or arteriovenous fistula (up to 14%)

Reduce Sampling Error

~20% clinical discordance with inter-observer variance

Immune Regulation Pathways & Data Studies

The kSORT assay evaluates the change in expression of specific genes which are associated with pathways involved with immune activation or stress responses. kSORT gene expression panel has been shown to be valuable in establishing which patients are likely to maintain graft tolerance. The kSORT assay gives healthcare providers and patients another tool to confirm treatment successes or treatment needs in a complex transplant environment.

kSORT has been evaluated in multiple studies and demonstrates Negative Predictive Value:

  AART 100 Study       PRISM Study       SAILOR Study       ESCAPE Study       Van Loon Study

How to Order kSORT

1. Order kSORT collection kits

2. Complete test requisition and collect whole blood specimen

3. Package specimen and contact carrier for pickup

4. Receive results in < 1 week

kSORT Collection Time Points

kSORT can be employed for continuous monitoring of patient immune responses during their kidney transplant journey, providing an additional perspective to enhance graft surveillance and prevent potential damage or loss. A proposed protocol-driven collection time scenario is presented to illustrate kSORT's application in monitoring kidney transplant patients over time.
